I want to extend a warm welcome to you as a potential client of
The Moss Report on Cancer of the Pancreas. For over 35 years, it has been my
mission to educate and empower patients, including many with cancer of the
pancreas. I would be honored to be part of your healing journey.

There
are several kinds of cancer of the pancreas. The most common types are cancers
of the so-called exocrine cells. These are tumors that originate in the cells
that make the enzymes used in digestion and represent more than 95 percent of
all pancreatic tumors. Within this category, the majority of tumors are
adenocarciomas. By contrast, about 5 percent of pancreatic tumors are
neuroendocrine in origin. These arise in the less common cells that produce the
hormones insulin, glucagon and somatostatin.

This
report includes a discussion of these main varieties, as classified by the
World Health Organization (WHO) and other agencies. These are generally
classified by (a) cellular origin and (b) how those cells behave—ranging from
the least aggressive to the most malignant. The classification and grade of a
tumor may be used to predict its likely behavior. In cancer of the pancreas,
this is based on the microscopic appearance of the tumor tissue as derived from
a biopsy sample.

Over the years, my thinking about the overall category of cancer
of the pancreas has evolved considerably. I would like to share with you some
of the core beliefs I have developed about this type of cancer and the recovery
process.

In the Moss
Report on Cancer of the Pancreas we fully deal with the conventional treatments
of this disease category, including adenocarcinomas of the exocrine cells and
other varieties. What are these? They mainly consist of surgery, such as the
Whipple procedure, various types of radiation (including external beam,
brachytherapy or radioactive seeds, and proton beam therapy), as well as
various types of chemotherapy and ‘targeted’ agents. We also discuss the issue of “watchful
waiting” in cancer of the pancreas. When might this be appropriate as an
option?

We are not allied with any doctor, hospital or agency that
administers such treatments. This gives us the unusual ability to assess the
effectiveness of these treatments without any prejudice created by how we earn
our living. We combine this with a detailed knowledge of how these treatments
are actually administered and what they are likely to deliver.

While
conventional cancer of the pancreas treatments definitely have their place, and
have often been instrumental in a cure, I also believe that there are new
treatments that offer hope to cancer of the pancreas patients, such as those
involved in secondary prevention (to ward off recurrences).

There also are scientifically valid treatments that come from
outside conventional Western medicine. These treatments offer hope of real and
substantial benefit to cancer of the pancreas patients, even those with
advanced disease. In this Moss Report I will discuss the ones that I believe
are most promising and relevant. Some of the most promising involve the medical
use of heat and electricity, immunotherapy and virology.

Keep in mind that some of what are called “alternative treatments”
in the United States are accepted and used in other countries. Some pancreatic
cancer treatments are so embroiled in controversy that it is difficult to
arrive at objective information about their effectiveness. I have done my best
to reach a realistic judgment on many of these. Yet other treatments and
approaches appear worthless or even dangerous.

My goal is to
provide you with information as well as to convey a way of looking at these
questions that you can apply to other treatments. I hope to give you a compass
with which to evaluate the many conflicting treatment claims in the cancer of
the pancreas field and to help you formulate a winning plan for yourself. Let
my knowledge, objectivity, and experience help guide your journey!

I believe that overcoming one or another form of cancer of the
pancreas and remaining well is more than just a physical process. Of course,
medical treatments, such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, as well as
more natural therapies, have their place in the treatment of this disease, and
you need scientific information to make rational decisions about them all. But
there is another dimension to the cancer problem. As one long-term survivor put
it, “Returning to a state of health is not just about having treatment; it
means dealing with the mental, emotional and the spiritual issues that tend to
manifest physically. It means asking, ‘Am I on the path that I want to be on?’

This Moss Report on Cancer of the Pancreas is dedicated to helping
you to repair the breach that this cancer has created in your life. To do so,
you need to seek emotional healing as well. The attention you give these less
tangible areas can speed healing and enhance the effectiveness of your physical
treatments. But it can also serve as a profound source of strength, peace, and
inspiration for you. What we call body, mind, and spirit are interwoven strands
that form the whole person.
